The entrance to the old Bluejay Mine appears to have been recently rebuilt with fresh wood

The old mine entrance was probably burned during the 2005 fire, but with no signs in the area, one can only guess if the mine entrance is being repaired by the National Park Service or restored by a volunteer group.
